I really wanna give them a piece of my mind.
When you argue with an idiot they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Yeah but I really don't care what keyboard warriors have to say. Trust me words do not bother me. Like water off a ducks back.
I know. You rock.
This cunt ain't worth the keystrokes
Ok I've stopped the silliness. I'm not an angry drunk.
First rule is don't feed the trolls.
That's so very true.
Alright baby.
Keep on rocking in the free world
These types have always been around. Decent odds he's already reading these comments and feeling chuffed that's he's gotten to you. It's exactly the sort of response they want. They love invoking emotional reactions in others.
What they hate is being ignored. That happens to them all the time in the real world. Online they have power. When you deny them that power, it brings home how significant they really are(n't).
Sadly, this will just drive them to go bother someone else. But that isn't your problem.
Thank you very much. I shall ignore the fuckwit and will not engage.
Even if you do maybe that’s what they’re hoping for, to provoke someone into a slinging match while they laugh at you.
In the words of Kenny you gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away know when to run.
